My relationship with food is ... touchy.
I'm allergic to a lot of it. And some days even things I am not allergic can cause problems. Nuts, for example, I can eat with no problems for months and then for like 2 months if a nut passes by my lips - well, let's not get graphic - I spend more time in bathrooms than normally.
I've gotten pretty good at letting my body tell me what it needs. I've been craving cauliflower. Weird? obviously. But hey, who am I deny myself cauliflower?
Walking home from yoga yesterday, I was pondering what I'd have for lunch. Mac n Cheese...no no no, but cheese sounds good. Hmm...cheese on what? As I crossed over High Street, it hit me. My day could not go on without Mashed Potatoes with peas and cheese melted over it (and cauliflower...but even I think that's weird, so let's not mention it). This was it. I needed mashed potatoes.
Anything you need today?
I NEED to stay away from sugar and internet distractions today! Probably won't happen... maybe I NEED sugar and internet distractions today. Hmmm.
ReplyDeleteI just ate Falafel balls with yogurt. Now I'm craving mashed potatoes with cauliflower. :-)
Yum... now I want those thin pototoes with like gooey processed cheese all over them. What are they called again?
ReplyDeleteI get weird cravings too like pasta with cream sauce, onions, broccoli and carrots.
Chris - I craved peanut m&m's yesterday. Usually when I crave sugar it's my body craving fat -- and if i eat yogurt or avocado it goes away. Falafel...Now you're talking dirty.
ReplyDeleteSara - Um, is that a midwest thing? haha. Broccoli - so good!
Yummmmy...ahhhh yeahhhh mashed potatoes w/garlic (lightly sauteed)& cheese one of my fav's...
ReplyDeleteHad a hankering for a gyro sandwich today (comes w/tomatoes, lettuce, onions and tzatziki sauce)from New York Gyro...was awsome...#:-)
OHHH...the gyro is served on Pita Bread (warmed)...just if there is any that don't know.
ReplyDeleteUm, I don't know what gyro is...I do like tzatziki sauce though -- maybe it's just words with t's and z's?

ReplyDeleteThe above is a good description...the tz's in tzatziki did appear interesting looking.
hmmmm...words with t's and z's...my turn to blush...
ReplyDeleteI love mashed potatoes and I love cauliflower but I have never put cheese over them and I never will :)
ReplyDeleteI'm craving for some chocolate right now. I need to go eat something or I will punch someone in the face (I'm not a violent person, I swear).
DDG - don't the Germans do something with cauliflower, potatoes, and cheese?
ReplyDeleteA pox on your allergies!
ReplyDeleteThe top things I crave are veggies, meat and CANDY (put in reverse order to fool you).
